On the basis of information directly collected from them and various other sources, she confined the profiles of these musical giants to give them the shape of the present book. These maestros hail from different backgrounds and have been groomed in different gharanas and styles. Some of the them have achieved fame and eminence after years of struggle, suffering, poverty and even starvation. These musical faquirs have lived the lives of extreme simplicity, shunning publicity and content in their naadopasana. Numerous musicians are still enriching their gharanas by their creative contributions. Some excel as performing artistes who hold vast audiences in thrall. A whole cavalcade of unforgettable and irreplaceable forty-seven musicians have merged in this stream known as Among Contemporary Musicians".
